Another hospital bombarded
State media says at least three people have been killed and 17 wounded in a rocket attack on a hospital in the government-controlled district of Muhafaza.
How many people have been killed?
It is claimed more than 250 people have died in Aleppo in the last ten days alone, the majority of them civilians.
Two-thirds of those killed were in the rebel-held east side of the city.
50 people, the majority said to be women and children, died in an air strike on a hospital.
One of the remaining paediatricians working in Aleppo also died.
